179 Might Be Your Lucky Number
If you’re a business owner who needs or wants to purchase additional business equipment, machinery, vehicles, or computers to grow your business, increase efficiency, and take advantage of favorable IRS tax codes, Section 179 is welcome news.
What Is Section 179 And Why You Should Care?
Section 179 of the IRS tax code was created by Congress to stimulate US economic growth by incentivizing and rewarding businesses that purchase business equipment. Section 179 is an immediate expense deduction on depreciable business equipment that most businesses can use to reduce tax liability and take an immediate tax deduction.
Key Takeaways for Section 179
No waiting. Your business may take an immediate tax deduction for business-related, depreciable assets such as business machinery, equipment, software, and vehicles.
Section 179 allows a maximum deduction of $1,080,000.00 and a value of the property purchased up to $2,700,000.00 for the 2022 tax year.
A business can dramatically reduce its current tax liability and not wait to depreciate the assets and take the tax deductions over a series of years. Most enterprises prefer taking these deductions now and having more working capital on hand.
All types of businesses within specified limits, from small to large, allow a business to expense the cost of new and used qualified property (equipment) in the tax year the assets were placed in service.
Section 179 contains some limitations. The income limitation bars a taxpayer (business) from claiming an allowance that is greater than its taxable income (wages and salaries) from the active conduct of a trade or business.
Section 179 applies to equipment purchased outright or finances, and the total purchase price amount is eligible for the deduction.
A Real World Example of Section 179
Let’s say you’re a trucking business and need to add a new, state-of-the-art long-haul, sixteen-wheeler to your fleet, but you’ve been putting it off. With Section 179, you could purchase that truck this year, put it into service, take the full deduction in 2022, and not wait for as much as five years to take those deductions incrementally.
How Can Your Business Take Advantage of Section 179?
If your business needs new business machinery, a new fleet of business vehicles, the latest in software, and new computers, now is the time to make those purchases, increase your cash flow, ramp up your productivity, and take advantage of the tax code.
